My dad's ipad 2 is glitchy. The icons are small, and some have no design. The dock is gone, and when I unlocked portrait orientation, it won't turn

I was just checking fb when suddenly i accidentally pressed this app about this battery thing. Now some icons are small, and some icons have no design
There is no dock, and when I unlocked portrait orientation, it didn't turn. I turned it off and on about many times, and the play, fast forward, and reverse button are overlapping. ITS SO GLITCHY!

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

  • All of the icons are internet explorer. how do i restore the correct icons to match the program?

    All of the shortcut icons on my HP G60 computer are Internet Explorer.  Also, the icons on the taskbar and the startup listing are also Internet Explorer.  I have tried to restore the computer, but I got the error # 0x8000ffff.  I have worked and worked, but i cannot get the shortcut icons to revert back to the default settings.  Any help appreciated

    Hi,
    This is from Microsoft support:
    If for any reason, one or more icons are not showing correctly, you can repair by rebuilding the icon cache. Icon cache is a hidden file located at the Local Folder. Here is how to do it:
    1. Open Windows Explorer (any folder/drive).
    2. As the IconCache is a hidden file, you need to enable “Show hidden files” option to see the same. To do this, head over to Tools > Folder Options, switch to View tab, and finally enable Show Hidden files, folders, and drives option.
    3. Now navigate to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local  folder and then delete IconCache.db file.
    4. Reboot your computer to rebuild the icon cache.
    5. All icons should be displayed correct now.
    But, before rebuilding icon cache, I'd suggest you to create a restore point .
    Regards.

  • My iTunes does not look right at all.  The buttons are blank.  I have tried to install a previous version and I get the same thing.  I have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

    That's consistent with trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system.
    If you're using Windows XP or Windows Vista, try Vortical's technique from the following post:

  • Just updated to 7.1 and now open some apps and cannot seethe entire screen because the iPad, time n battery icons are covering top of screen.

    Just updated to 7.1 and now open some apps and cannot see the entire screen because the iPad, time n battery icons are covering top of screen.

    I tried what you said but it still didn't help.
    It only affects some of my apps other apps are fine.
    For some reason in some of my apps the iPad, time and battery icons get bigger on the top of my screen so I can't see the top of the app page which effects some of the games and applications.
    Is there any way to turn these icons off on the top of the screen?

  • I have one iPad 3. But it is frequently hanging. More over the sound disappears. I have to restart the device to bring back the sound. Today I can't even restart as none of the icons are responding to touch. Why this is happening?

    Try a reboot:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds (ignore the red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad wil restart. 

  • My husband's only way to communicate is with ipad.  He now has double-vision.  The icons are too small.  Is Apple planning on accommodating us boomers and handicapped with a larger icons? Zooming doesn't help becuase of limited manual dexterity.  Thanks

    My husband's only way to communicate is with ipad.  He now has double-vision.  The icons are too small.  Is Apple planning on accommodating us boomers and handicapped with a larger icons? Zooming doesn't help because it's not a permanent setting and he can't change it too meet his needs because of limited manual dexterity.  I understand and appreciate the desire for consistency, couldn't they make a two or three size option setting. Small, Medium, Large and maybe Xlarge?

    Thanks.  Tried it.  The size of icons is great but now the part of the screen is missing.  For example, he likes going into his  music app, yes, it was easier for him to see and select, but once in the app he couldn't see the sides, so he couldn't select song without a double-tap to get it out of zoom.  I will see if I can arrange his pages so that all icons show.  This is a sort of work around.  Larger icons would be a better solution.  My husbands illness makes him akin to a person with ALS, so his ipad is his prized possession.

  • After trying to update all in app store the icons are just staying on waiting position and noting happens

    After trying to update all in app store the icons are just staying on waiting position and noting happens

    I have posted this quite a few times and some of these suggestions have worked for others in the past. See if anything works for you.
    1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
    2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. You can also dete apps in Settings>General>Usage>Storage.
    6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • TS1702 Purchased stray souls game but when I try playing it freezes my iPad 3 and I have to allow the battery to drain completely before I can use iPad againT

    Stray souls freezing my iPad. What to do?

    You don't have to let the battery drain. Quit the app if that happens again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps.
    You should delete the app and reinstall it if it keeps freezing on you. You don't have to pay for it again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought it with.

  • My ipad is on an infinite loop.  I used ios7 for a few days and then did updates on some of my apps. that's when the infinite loop started.  I have tried pressing the power and home button at the same time, but it doesn't work. Please help!

    I even tried some hints posted for ios6 (turn off Ipad, holding home button and plugging in power cord at the same time and then releasing the home button)
    I did manage to get a different screen that shows the itunes icon and a power cord, but nothing happens.

    You were on the right track. You got the connect to iTunes screen and you ended to use iTujes to restore your iPad. Try recovery mode again.
    Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

    Ok Apple users...Is there a way to delete e-mails on my Mac and not have to delete the same e-mails on my iPhone, and iPad...and vise-versa. I have the Cloud, and thought that everything would sync all of the time. If you know of a setting I need to adjust, please let me know.

    Are you referring to @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com emails? Or some other email providers emails?
    If the former, it should do that automatically. If the latter, no. iCloud does not (nor is it supposed to) sync non-Apple provided emails.

    Yes, it doesn't work. I ran in safe mode. nothing changed. I uninstalled Mozilla firefox with only standard removal, no change. I finally uninstalled Mozilla with complete removal and reinstalled it, then it return to normal. Why does this happen? Thanks for your reply.
